Riverside at Forrest

This whole argument comes off as pathetic and is embarrassing to the Forrest program. If you teach your kids to push blame on others for your misfortune, you set them up for failure all through out the rest of their life. A better lesson to learn would be, to be gracious in defeat and celebrate your successes... not dwell on disappointments.

I didn’t realize that 

Yup. Peabody was in a district with Union City, Lake Co, Humboldt, Halls, Gibson Co, South Fulton, & Greenfield. That district was tough back 6-8 year ago. 2013 I remember Peabody was picked to win the district right after they won it in 2012 but Union City decided to start a dynasty for a few years lol. UC finished 1st, Peabody 2nd, & Humboldt 3rd. Union City went on to win the 1A state championship while Humboldt was ranked #1 in 1A for 8 out of the 11 regular season weeks. I think they met up in the quarterfinals that year in 1A. Peabody went on to get beat by TCA in 2nd round of the 2A playoffs. Final score I think was something like 51-44. They played a semifinal game in the 2nd round. Definitely one of the top 5 football games I’ve seen in my life. Peabody & TCA literally threw the ball all over the field that night. That was all before they abandoned the districts & went to the regions we’re in now.

That UC and Humboldt game that year was a slugfest, I think the final was 10-6. Humboldt was a minute away from going to win a championship and they blew it. That’s when people realized that new guy they hired for replace of bland was a joke

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
